What made Abdul-Jabbar so amazing was that he continued to be effective despite getting older. He averaged 23 points in 1986 at the age of 38.

We all lauded Bryant for his amazing season last year, averaging 27 points at age 34, but what Abdul-Jabbar did was just as impressive. Everyone always wanted to try and push, pound, and tear him down, but Abdul-Jabbar just kept working and became one of the greatest winners in NBA history.

There are times now when people talk about the greatest players of all-time, and for some reason, Abdul-Jabbar is rarely in the discussion. But there are very few players who played at his level, for as long as he did.

This week, we remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for breaking the NBA record for most games played.
